Hi, I’m Jack Brugger, a senior product designer with 9+ years shaping complex B2B and B2C products across SaaS, fintech, education, marketplaces, and media. I take ideas from ambiguity to scalable platforms by blending sharp user research, fast experimentation, and hands-on delivery. I’m comfortable in both startups and large organizations, and I plug into existing teams and processes quickly while raising the bar on product quality and coherence. I excel at turning user insights into coherent design systems, measurable improvements, and delightful experiences. I enjoy collaborating across disciplines, shipping fast, and building products that users love and businesses rely on.
